What are people saying about Taipei

Joe_R, May 2026

This is a must do, great for any group size or solo

This was my favorite tour from my month in Asia. When they say full day, you really get a lot done in the day but never felt rushed. I usually leave my guides good reviews, but Trix raised the bar. I have never seen such dedication, coordination, entertainment, and passion from a tour guide. If you can request him, do it. He provides so much more than he needed to and this should be recognized. He is on his game when it comes to this trip. Provided his own maps, very clear communicator, his own videos, everything was next level. Bravo, dude

Great tour with Jack!

Jack was a fantastic tour guide. Always attentive, informative, and knowledgeable. He knows all the spots to go and all the right ways to get there. Although the hiking trails in the park are closed post-earthquake, it is still open for driving tours and small stops along the way. Absolutely gorgeous and definitely worth it.

An Amazing Layover Experience, Shoutout to our guide Jackson!

If you've got time to spare for a layover I highly recommend this experience! Our guide Jackson was very knowledgeable and was able to craft a tailored and efficient itinerary for our 8 hour layover so we could make the most of our time there. Not only was he extremely friendly but he was also our own personal photographer which was greatly appreciated! If you want to immerse yourself into Taiwanese culture and cuisine, this is the experience for you!

Wonderful insider tour and tasting of Taipei street food.

This is a must do tour in Taipei for anyone who loves local food and culture. David expertly guided us around street food markets and stalls, and we had delicious tastings of local foods that I never would’ve found on my own. It was the perfect length and we ate plenty. I really feel I got to know the local cuisine. David also told us about history and culture and we stopped at a local temple along the way where he explained the customs. I learned so much and I had a wonderful time. David’s English is fluent and he was a delightful guide. I 100% recommend this tour!

Perfect day trip to Pingxi area from Taipei!

Perfect day trip from Taipei to Pingxi area to see Shifen, Jiufen and Yehliu in one day. These are must see places and this tour allows all to be visited in one day from Taipei with the convenience of a driver and guide. Walter was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who kept an excellent schedule and ensured everyone was on track with timings, food, and toilet breaks, and we all had a great time. The Shifen waterfall was beautiful including the walk to it, with plenty of time to admire and take pictures. The sky lantern experience at Shifen old town was a highlight of my whole Taiwan trip, writing on the paper lantern and releasing it into the sky on the train tracks. Juifen had lots of great food shops and also the Spirited Away teahouse. Yehliu Geopark was something different with very interesting rock formations.

A fun tour through Taipei

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Mike, was a wealth of knowledge—he didn't just show us the sights but explained the historical significance behind them, which made the experience so much richer. Plus, the bikes were a dream to use. Even if you aren't a regular cyclist, it's a smooth and easy way to explore Taipei.

Awesome Tour! Reina is the BEST!

Excellent, very informative tour - especially because Reina, our guide, was like a walking history book! Her knowledge was very impressive, as well as her people skills. Very professional tour, and our driver, Mr Chan, was an expert driver. Reina speaks great English and was easily understood. Recommend this small group tour (there were only 3 of us) and hope you get Reina!!
